VS.. WIRE NAIL.
A PRACTICAL TEST OF THE ADVANTAGES
OF THE TWO NAILS,
Which Shows the Former to Be Ahead BY Many
POins-A Tabulatsd Result Of the
Recent Tests at Bsllairs.

Several days since the REGISTER pub
lished an account of test made at Bellaire
of the merits of the cut nail as compared
with that of the wire nail, which was wit
messed by manufacturers representing a
number of mills in this vicinity. IL
was also stated that the cut nall
came ont far ahead of its CON-
~petitor, and the truth of this statement
the following article will fully demon
strate, as it gives the details and results
of the tests made. Of course the small
wire nail possesses some advantages over
the small cut nail and rice rersa, but IN
the large sizes the wire nail is found to be
utterly lacking the advantages of the cut
nail, and they will never take their place
to any extent. Following is the official
announcement of the test as received at
this Office yesterday:
To the Nail Trade:
Some time since attention was called to
tue Cldlul6 VI lnC a '" '
nails. 1t was claimed that wire nails
possessed a holding power much greater
than cut nails, and that as pound of wire
nails contained 80 per cent. more nails
than a pound of cut nails, that they were
therefore, worth so per cent. more.
The manufacturers of cut nails had,
until recently, accepted the above state
ment as correct, without making an effort
10 yer ifyit. 1t was conceded that the COM
parative value of a nail depended entirely
upon its holding pOwer-that the only
function of a nail was to hold two pieces of
wood together, and the kind Of a nail
that did this most effectually, and the
cheapest, was the best nail.
1t occurred to one of the manufacturers
of cut nails, at the time alluded to above,
that the claims of the wire nail manu-
facturers were fallaciouS, and a test was
then made showing the following results:

Hit With q Brick.

Yesterday Frank Jones, of Warrington,
came to the city, and proceeded to get
pretty full of beer. While loaing around
the saloons in the neighbood Of the B. &
o. depot Jones fell in with q number Of
men, to whom he succeeded in proving
himself n frst-class nuisance. He was
particularly abusive towards David Glenn,
applying to him a number of prolane
~epithets. Glenn stood it as long as he
could, and then when Jones drew n knife,
Glenn picked up a half a brick and struck
Jones in the forehead with it, making a
fearful wound Just over his left eye.
While engaged in monkeying around, just
about the time he was hit, Jones sue
ceeded in knocking down and damaging a
wooden Indian, which is usually to be
found in front of Aug. Foose's cigar store.
Officer Jack West arrested both Jones
and Glenn, and the matter will be ex-
planned to His Honor this morning.

An Exciting Argument.

Quite an exciting little scene was en-
acted at the court house In st. Clairsville
yesterday. 1t seems that Judge Thomas
Cochran and :. ". Shannon are opposing
counsel in a chancery case before the
court, and yesterday they got into a wran-
gle, during which they called each other
uncomplimentary names, and almost came
to blows. The presiding judge ordered
them out of court, and when they got
outside Mr.. Shannon struck Mr. Cochran,
knocking his hat off and telling him. Mr..
Cochran got himself together and banged
Mr.. Shannon in the. same manner, and a
rough and tumble fight would have en-
sued, but a bystander parted the belliger-
ents, who kept up the war of words until
late last night.

The New Pottery Enterprise.

Work upon the building Of the new
Pottery, in the North End, is coming on
very nicely, and there is every prospect
that the entire plant will be under roof by
the first of the year. The excavations for
the foundations of the southern of the two
buildings to be devoted to the manufacture
of ware is nearly done, and the stone
masons have commenced on their part of
the Job. This building will be l4Ox50
feet in dimensions and three stories in
height.
The other building, which fronts on the
south side of Fourth street, will be even
larger. Work upon it has not yet been
commenced, owing to the old buildings
having to be torn away, but this has near
ly been accomplished, about sixty men,
employed by the Wheeling Mining and
Manufacturing Company, heing at work.
The Pottery Company expect to let the
contract for the Drickwork today, aud
that done, the walls will soon begin to 90

A Word About Catarrh.

cit is the mucous membrane, that wonderful
semi-fiuid envelope surrounding the delicate
tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh
makes its stronghold. Once established, il eats
into the very vitsls, and renders life but a long
drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the
sense OF hearing, trammelling the power of
speech. destroying the faculty OF smell, tainting
the breath, and killing the refined pleasures of
taste. Insiduously. by creeping on IRON a sim
pie Geld in the head, IL assaults the membranous
lining and envelops the bones, eating through
the delicate coats and causing Inflammation,
sloughing and death. Nothing short of total
eradication Will secure health 10 the patient, and
all alternatives are simply p7Ocrastinated suffer
ings, leading to n fatal termination. SASFogD,s
RADICAL CURE, by Inhalation and by Internal adj
ministratiOn, has never failed; even when the
disease has made fightful inroads on delicate
coStitutions, hearing. mel and taste have been
recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven
